Exploring Environmental Risks to Cognitive Health in Older Adults As our population ages, cognitive decline becomes a pressing public health issue. A recent study led by MBioFAR award winner Kelly Bakulski, Ph.D. Bakulski and PI for the Single Cell Spatial Analysis Initiative, Justin Colacino, examines the link between environmental chemical exposures and cognition in older adults. The study found that exposure to chemicals like cotinine (from tobacco smoke), cadmium (found in cigarettes and certain foods), tungsten (used in industry), and mono-benzyl phthalate (a component of plastics) is associated with lower cognitive scores or a higher risk of cognitive impairment. Interestingly, it also found that higher levels of benzophenone-3 (in sunscreens), m-/p-xylene (in solvents), and 2-methylhippuric acid (a breakdown product of solvents) were linked to better cognitive performance.

Cryo-EM Offers Insights into the Causes of Neurodegenerative Diseases In diseases like ALS and frontotemporal dementia, a protein called TDP43 goes astray, clumping inside brain cells and leading to their destruction. But the steps leading to this buildup were unclear—until now. In another interdisciplinary collaboration among BSI members, researchers captured the first clear images of TDP43 clumps within neurons. They discovered that these harmful aggregates form inside specific cell compartments, shedding light on how brain cells begin to malfunction and die. These insights could pave the way for new strategies to detect, prevent, or even reverse the damage in these devastating diseases. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g9B7V4md Watch the video below to see a visualization of TDP43 mislocalization and aggregation. #ALS #FTS #Bioscience #CryoEM #Nuerons #Brain Shyamal Mosalaganti, Ph.D. MS, MPH, Amanda Erwin
